[GRASS-dev] rc7 winggrass binary sizes?

while checking for presence of binary installers before updating the RSS feed on the home page, I notice that both the wingrass nightly build and rc7 setup.exe are now about 55mb down from 88mb some days before.

at least for the daily builds I would guess that swig was gone some builds ago, so that doesn't account for it.

incomplete build or silent improvement?
